Crisp, Easy, and Chic: Blouses for Work

by Julia DiNardo

Sometimes dressing for work can be a REAL pain; while some offices will tolerate  sneakers and t-shirts on a daily basis, I’ve worked in places where “casual Friday” doesn’t include wearing jeans! We’ve all had dilemma with dress codes, but to make matters even more tricky, since we are all so busy, we can’t spend our precious moments in the morning or evening steaming, ironing, and just generally pressing clothes for the work day. Below I’ve listed some perfectly office-friendly options, at a variety of price points that will help to minimize, and in some cases eliminate, your work clothes prep.

From classic to on-trend, you can easily pair these options with black or khaki pants and skirts, and be ready for that big meeting today in a jiffy. Of note, when shopping for low maintenance blouses,  look for key words such as “no iron” or “iron free”  and “machine washable” in woven shirts, and for jersey knits, synthetic fiber are ACTUALLY your friend; they are more wrinkle-resistant than cotton and natural fibers, so can easily transition from the dryer to the your body.

American Living for JCPenney: Jackets for Fall

by fashion pulse contributor

American Living Cargo Jacket, $63.00

The cool, crisp fall days are beginning to call for some light layering. American Living’s latest fall styles, sold exclusively at JCPenney, are as practical as they are cute. While the collection includes dresses, skirts, pants and more, the outerwear is especially trendy. A classic cardigan will always come in handy when in the office or out at night. For a more edgy look, try a cropped motorcycle jacket or a utilitarian cargo jacket, both pictured here (and a few of our faves!). You don’t have to break the bank to look high fashion!

What FPD Has Been Up to Lately

by Julia DiNardo

American Living for JCPenney Holiday Preview

The American Living for JCPenney Holiday collection just hit stores, and has some terrific pieces that function for all occasions! I was loving the Navajo sweater, ruffled skirts, and frilly tops. There’s also a perfect assortment for men and children. Plus, at JCPenney, the price is always just right – items are already marked 30% off!

Payless Holiday Collection and Spring 2011 Preview

The designer assortment just keeps getting better and better, and for Spring 2011 there are a TON of great choices from both Payless’ designer (Lela Rose, Isabel Toledo, Christian Siriano) and other labels (Zoe & Zac, American Eagle, Dexter). Expect some great comfort technology, must-have styles, accessories, and even the expansion of beauty products. You can shop the holiday collection now, and I was lucky enough to get a pair of the amazing Isabel Toledo Bow Dress Shoes.

Avon Anew Platinum Luncheon

A lovely lunch at A Voce, Columbus Circle with the face of Avon Platinum, actress Jacqueline Bisset, was my intro to Avon’s Anew Platinum Serum and Night Cream. The product use Avon’s first-ever patented Paxillium Technology , in which you will see results after two weeks. Geared toward women 60 plus, working on deep wrinkles and promises to dramatically reduce the look of those pesky lines. Shop Avon to by both of these products together to save some money, and the line also plans to include eye and lip cream, cleanser, and day cream with SPF 25.

Dr. Martens NYC Store Opening

The middle school-er inside of me died and went to heaven once I stepped inside the brand new Dr. Martens Store at 148 Spring Street in SoHo last night. I remember saving my allowance for months to own a pair, eventually amassing a collection of eight pairs (now, only one from the original ‘collection’ remains). Back to the store: so many great styles to choose from, especially a selection that look nothing like the classic ‘8-lace’ boots! I was loving the chunky heels, fleece lined, and fluero-hued varieties.
